Wonder if any other major stadiums has a fence like LSU.


In the north? Nope


In the south? Nope


Flyover state? Nope


West coast? Nope

The new seating areas make the old existing areas look dingy as frick.



Tell Mr. Hyman that I'm willing to take care of the issue for a few thousand bucks. He can expect that the job will be nowhere near done when the season starts. But he has my word that I won't hang any trash from the stadiums facade.

All of those pictures have walls. Except for UCLA. I cant tell but they look to have some kind of fence. Either way they have a divider.

If i came in and asked durr why yall got a half wall between fans and the field. what's the purpose of dat?....I'd expect to be ridiculed for being stupid the same way you deserve it.

It will be hardly visible when the people are in there. I wonder if they will take a power washer(s) to the old sections though.

Why do those have wall after the first row and then fences? Sounds like a select few are worried about people getting on the field.
I'd wager 90+% don't have hedges and fences in addition to some kind of rail or barrier directly in front of the first row.

They don't have them in the NFL either as far as I know.

They power wash it every year. One is brand new and one is 10s of years old. They aren't going to look the same. Just wait a few years and they'll look more alike. However when its full on gameday it won't matter.

because...wait for it this is gonna blow your mind...they put in a walkway to allow people to move between sections. or to get to your section.

crazy as shite i know.


some stadiums have it, some dont. the real question isnt why isnt every stadium exactly alike. the question is why is it so hard for you to wrap your mind around it.

no offense but i honestly hope for your sake you are being deliberately obtuse.

How are the expansion projects coming? Holy shite. One simple question turned in to 2 pages of I'm about to blow your minds, Tigers. Seats on the field with no wall.


I was waiting for someone to post a pic of the seats on the sidelines like we have had many years for extra capacity.

It's just amazing to us that you all need a fence to be able to play the game of football. We don't, and haven't had any in our conferences I can think of. The biggest obstacle in the Big 12 was probably at OSU where there was about an 8 foot jump to the playing surface.

Nobody's trying to rustle panties in here, but after you're responses to such simple questions, it's quite obvious why the fences are in place.

So, if the fences are to keep people off the field, I'm assuming the stadiums with hedges are just for decoration and those fans are more civil? Let's face it, a hedge isn't keeping someone determined off the field. Drunk or not.

actually those hedges are much more of a deterrent than a half fence.

neither is a 3.5 ft fence. not sure if you've ever been to uga, but the hedge they have is much bigger than lsu's fence

Now why not just say that after my first post? Instead you like to be a dick and rant on for pages.

Who gives a frick? Some stadiums have fences, others don't. It doesn't matter.

It was only a matter of time before this thread went to shite.

I've never seen an LSU fan as insecure about something. Who fricking cares? LSU's fence isn't a normal thing except to football fans that think football started in 2000. Why an LSU fan cares if Aggies know about their fence, is beyond me.
